I admit I've been a slacker with the sew-along group projects lately as I'm trying to live somewhat in slow-time this summer, curtailing some of my normal hectic activities now that vacation is over. My sewing machine hasn't whirred along a single inch in quite a while, knitting seems to be my most relaxing and soothing endeavor right now. I'll get my sewing mojo back soon.

I'll stick to fabric coin pouches with a magnetic snap close. Well if you had problems with the cupability, then this is one project I am not going to try!

Whenever money, or the jewels from rings are missing (Yep, my little hording dragon), I know where to look. No inhibitions on this kid. He just goes with the flow. Thankfully, he's usually consistant on where he "hides" the goodies. I have to keep my good jewelry locked up because he loves jewels for some reason and will try to pop them out to horde them like a story book dragon.. Go figure.

I've never sewn with vinyl and goodness knows I have a terrible time sewing curves! Good for you for trying, and like you said, little kids aren’t so picky as we might be.

Good to know about the lack of cuppability. And it's only after reading your entry that I notice the "children's patterns" clause of this month's challenge. Idiot! My skimming eyes only picked up the dealer's choice part, despite the fact that it was not even the highlighted portion. I'm going off now to wallow in my shame.... ;) Yeah, I’m just impressed that you even attempted one of the vinyl projects, which scaresy me. Good to know about the lack of cuppability.

The only time I've sewn on vinyl was for boat seat covers and that was under the close supervision of my hubby lol. LOL.
